ADAM: And the Masters of the Universe.
(THEME MUSIC PLAYING)
I am Adam,
Prince of Eternia and defender of the secrets
of Castle Grayskull.
This is Cringer, my fearless friend.
Fabulous secret powers were revealed to me
the day I held aloft my magic sword
and said, "By the power of Gray skull..."
CHORUS: (SINGING) He-Man
"...I have the power!"
(ROARING)
ADAM: Cringer became the mighty Battle Cat
and I became He-Man,
the most powerful man in the universe.
Only three others share this secret,
our friends the Sorceress, Man-At-Arms and Orko.
Together, we defend Castle Grayskull
from the evil forces of Skeletor.
(LAUGHS)
CHORUS: (SINGING) He-Man
ADAM: Do you think it'll take much longer, Man-At-Arms?
No, that should do it.
It's a long trip to Darksmoke,
but the Wind Raider's as ready as she'll ever be.
Great. I can hardly wait to see Granamyr again.
This should be a pretty special trip.
Yes. Anniversary of the treaty between dragons and humans.
Hmm. To be invited
to represent Eternians everywhere, that's a high honor.
It's too bad we couldn't bring Orko along.
He really wanted to come.
MAN-AT-ARMS: Granamyr sent for He-Man and Man-At-Arms,
and that's who he's going to get.
Maybe Orko can talk to Granamyr some other time.
I don't want to talk to Granamyr,
I just want to see him.
I'll just sneak in here and hide.
Nobody will ever know I was along for the ride.
ADAM: Well, if Granamyr is expecting He-Man, I'd bet...
Something wrong, Adam?
I thought I heard something. Must've been my imagination.
By the power of Gray skull.
CHORUS: (SINGING) He-Man
He-Man
I have the power!
Anytime you're ready, Duncan. By the way, what were the terms
of the treaty between dragons and humans?
That the dragons would withdraw from the rest of the world,
that the dragons could do whatever they want,
and that humans are to leave them alone.
Doesn't sound like much of a bargain.
MAN-AT-ARMS: Have you ever tried to bargain with a dragon?
(BOTH CHUCKLE)
CHORUS: (SINGING) He-Man
MORNING STAR: Do not presume to bargain with me, Targon.
You will regret it.
Targon does not like to be told what to do.
Not even by you, Morning Star.
I don't care!
If Targon does not like my plan,
then Targon can leave.
But when I rule Eternia,
Targon will find his life very, very unhappy.
Very well, Morning Star.
I will do what you say.
(SOFTLY) For now. Excellent.
Once you give me the ice crystal,
I will put out the magic fire from which
our beloved leader, Granamyr, draws his powers.
Then I shall take over and lead a war
against the people of Eternia.
And me? What of me?
We will find some
small role for you in ruling Eternia.
Perhaps you will govern Eternos itself.
Now, the ice crystal.
How do I know I can trust you with it?
(SNEERS) You don't,
but you have no choice.
Take it, then.
Excellent. And now to test it,
just to be sure.
No! No, not on me!
And now to pay a visit
to Granamyr.
CHORUS: (SINGING) He-Man
Perfect. And now to put out
Granamyr's power once and for all.
(RUMBLING)
Who dares?
Who dares to invade my home,
put out my fire, and steal my magic?
(GROWLING)
MORNING STAR: Humans, O great Granamyr.
What?
I saw them, Granamyr, with my own eyes.
Well, He-Man, we're nearly there.
Darksmoke should be coming into view anytime now. Great.
If I know Granamyr, he's probably got
quite a welcoming party for us.
Neato. I can hardly wait!
Granamyr. Humans coming this way.
Humans? Hmm.
How fortunate for me.
And how unfortunate for them.
There. You see? I was right.
Humans. Get them!
Let those who stole the magic flame of Granamyr
feel the wrath of dragons.
No. Wait. They might be friends.
Dragons have no friends among the humans.
Well, here comes the welcoming party. (SCREECHING)
MAN-AT-ARMS: Funny, they don't look very happy to see us.
You're right. Watch it!
ORKO: Ow! Take it easy!
MAN-AT-ARMS: That was close, too close.
Yes, but why are they attacking us?
Looks like we will have to find that out later, He-Man.
Uh-oh. We're hit. He-Man, look. The wing.
If it comes loose, we'll crash.
HE-MAN: There's only one thing to do.
I've got to hold on.
ORKO: (SNIFFING) Something's cooking.
Uh, hope it's not me.
We'll have to land.
Land? Where? HE-MAN: Anywhere.
MAN-AT-ARMS: You've got it! DRAGON 1: They are going down.
DRAGON 2: Good. Now, back to Darksmoke.
Hang on. This is going to be rough.
(CRASH)
Well, made it. Are you all right, He-Man?
Sore, but all right. I guess we'd better...
(KNOCKING) What's that?
ORKO: Hey, somebody!
Let me out of here!
It's stuck!
MAN-AT-ARMS: Orko!
(NERVOUS CHUCKLE) Oh, hi, guys.
I just sort of tagged along for the ride.
Only this time, Orko, you tagged along for the walk.
The Wind Raider can be repaired, but it'll take awhile.
So as of right now,
we walk to Darksmoke.
Did you see which humans were in the flyer?
No, Granamyr.
And it doesn't matter.
They began this fight, not us.
We must leave here now and prepare for war.
Who is with me? (CHEERING)
MORNING STAR: And you, Granamyr?
Those who wish to, may leave.
But for me, I will stay. This is my home.
So be it. Come. Let us be off.
(SCREECHING)
MORNING STAR: Fly, fly, fly!
CHORUS: (SINGING) He-Man
He-Man. So that was you
my dragons attacked and not the other humans?
What other humans? I... (SIGHS)
I was asleep, and some human
extinguished the magic fire that gives me my powers.
I fear that there will be war soon
between your people and my dragons.
ORKO: War?
Couldn't you stop them? Regrettably, no.
They have not fought in a war for a long time,
and they've forgotten what it's like.
They have forgotten the pain, the darkness,
the madness that is war.
And now, without my magic, I'm not able to stop them.
Isn't there anyway we can get your magic back?
I do not know, little one.
The fire can only be restored with flame
brought from the Pit of Shadows.
I would try to get it myself,
but I am too large for the passage,
and magic can only be summoned by magic.
And I have none. But I do.
Well, some days.
I'll get that fire and bring it back for you, Granamyr.
I promise.
MAN-AT-ARMS: Question is, where do we start?
GRANAMYR: The way is through here.
Follow the signs of fire.
But beware. The way is dangerous.
Very dangerous.
All right, Granamyr. We'll take it from here.
Good luck, champion of Eternia.
MAN-AT-ARMS: The signs point this way.
He-Man, (ANXIOUSLY) look!
(GROWLING)
MAN-AT-ARMS: An Ice Spider!
ORKO: Look out!
Careful, Orko. If one of those webs hits you,
you'll be stuck here for a long time.
ORKO: But... But how do we get past it?
I have an idea. But I'll need a distraction.
You've got it, He-Man. Just say the word.
(SNARLING)
Have to aim for those webs.
Now!
Now if I can just cut that web loose.
Gee, He-Man, looks like that Ice Spider really likes
to get wrapped up in his work. (CHUCKLES)
HE-MAN: Yes, but we'd better move on before he works himself loose.
And before we're too late to prevent a war
between dragons and humans.
The days of dragon rule have arrived!
Now at last, from this dragon hold
we shall launch our attack. (CHEERING)
For we are the strongest.
We are most fit to rule the race of men.
We, the dragons!
(DRAGONS CLAMORING)
There are none strong enough to oppose us.
Our time is now!
ORKO: That's it. The Pit of Shadows.
Let's go!
Orko, wait!
Yipe!
Only the good
and the wise and the brave
may pass into the Pit of Shadows.
Let us see if your goodness will shine as the sun.
Hmm. Well, we can try.
Good, wise, brave.
You may pass.
Good, wise, brave.
You may pass.
My turn!
Only the good,
the wise, and the brave may pass.
I know, I know.
You may pass.
Two out of three is not bad.
Oh, yeah?
Yeah!
Uh, yeah... Uh, right. Goodbye!
HE-MAN: Pretty impressive. MAN-AT-ARMS: Yes. The question is,
how do we bring some of this back with us?
I have an idea!
Fire far to fire near,
come with us to Granamyr.
Do you really think it'll work, Orko?
Of course it'll work! I think.
ORKO: It worked!
Just what we need to get Granamyr's fire going again.
Then let's go before Morning Star starts a war.
CHORUS: (SINGING) He-Man
So,
the war begins at last.
MORNING STAR: Yes. Nothing can stop us now.
This village will be only the beginning.
(PEOPLE SCREAMING)
If Granamyr could see this.
But, see, Granamyr is too weak
even to emerge from his pit.
Yes, victory and rule of the dragons is finally mi...
What's this?
No. They have the magic fire.
Join the others. There is trouble to be dealt with,
but I will return soon.
Yes, Morning Star.
It is too late, Granamyr.
The war is on.
And now I'll make sure
that you don't regain your magic!
MAN-AT-ARMS: This doesn't look like the same way we came in.
ORKO: We're lost! HE-MAN: Not yet.
We should be near the surface by now. Let's make our own exit.
ORKO: You did it, He-Man!
Now to get the fire to Granamyr.
MORNING STAR: I'm afraid not, He-Man.
I won't let you ruin all my work.
Your work?
So you're the one who put out Granamyr's fire.
Granamyr, it was Morning Star!
He did it! Granamyr?
MORNING STAR: Your calls are useless, little one.
Without his magic, Granamyr sleeps.
His time is past,
as is the age of human rule on Eternia.
Now, hand me the fire.
No, I won't.
Orko, no. The power is too strong.
Yeow! Whoa, whoa!
That's what I was afraid of. He's got more power than he can control.
(EXCLAIMING)
(EXCLAIMING CONTINUES)
Gotta get control of this.
Okay, Morning Star, take that!
Ah. Must get out of here.
(EXCLAIMING)
(CRASH)
(RUMBLING)
GRANAMYR: The fire has returned.
My magic is restored.
I...am...Granamyr.
(CHUCKLES) Great. Glad to hear it.
Good work, Orko.
Looks like you did it, little friend.
Well, how did it feel
to have a taste of dragon power?
Next time I think I'll stay home and read a book.
I'm pooped!
Best to let him get his rest. He earned it.
Meanwhile, we've got a war to stop.
(PEOPLE SCREAMING)
MAN: Our homes! Why are they doing this?
(GASPS) Look!
MAN: He-Man!
Are you sure I can't help you, Granamyr?
No, He-Man.
These are my dragon brothers.
I must deal with them myself.
Well, they're pretty worked up.
Will they listen to reason, even from you?
It is the chance I must take.
MORNING STAR: Hurry, hurry.
Press the attack. Nothing can stop us now.
Wrong.
The war is over, my brothers.
Let us return to Darksmoke in peace.
Morning Star has deceived you.
Is this true, Morning Star?
If so, we have made a terrible mistake.
Eh, it doesn't matter.
It's time for dragons to rule.
Listen to me, not Granamyr.
Do you challenge me? Yes, to the test of fire.
That's a test of fire, all right, to see who's strongest.
I only hope Granamyr's had enough time
to recover from losing his magic.
(CRASH)
(PANTING)
No. No, Granamyr, no.
I... I surrender. I admit it.
I put out the flame and blamed the humans.
Punish him, Granamyr.
Use the fire.
It is your right.
No, my brothers.
It is my right, but it would not be right.
We will find a more peaceful way to administer justice.
And now, let us go home.
GRANAMYR: It is unfortunate that all of this should've taken place
on the anniversary of the treaty between your people and the dragons.
But perhaps it was for the best.
This little war, like the treaty itself,
will help to remind us
how very fragile is peace.
But most of all, I regret that your village
paid the price for our foolishness.
We see now that you were tricked, so we will hold no grudge.
Now is the time to rebuild. We will help you to...
GRANAMYR: No, no, my friend, thank you.
We shall rebuild the village,
and we shall make it a place of such beauty,
the likes of which have never before been seen.
It shall be called the City of Peace,
and the treaty between man and dragon
will be moved there as a reminder of our friendship.
Thank you, Granamyr.
GRANAMYR: Finally, I want to thank all of you for your help.
Hmm. I wonder.
It was our pleasure. Anytime.
You have only to ask. Right, Orko?
Orko?
I'm sure I could handle just a little dragon fire.
Wow! Yikes! Oh, no.
(EXCLAIMING)
Boy, was that a mistake!
(ALL LAUGHING)
Oh, I haven't laughed this hard in a thousand years.
(ALL LAUGHING)
Today I want to talk to you about winning and losing.
When Granamyr had his fiery tug-of-war with another dragon,
he won fair and square and stopped.
He let go, because as soon as you
take advantage of being a winner, you've really lost.
Remember, it's important to be a good loser,
but sometimes it's just as important to know how to be a good winner.
Winning is no excuse for bad manners.
See you next time.
